COVID Litigation

To best serve the interests our clients as they navigate the legal impact of the COVID pandemic, we have assembled an experienced team of attorneys to guide and advise our clients through the new and evolving areas of law and medicine that have arisen in response.

As COVID claims are ongoing and are expected to intensify, our team possesses the necessary medical, regulatory and litigation experience necessary to meet the legal challenges presented by these claims and the applicable law, which continues to develop, including state and federal defenses and immunities such as the PREP Act and New York. ARFD’s team is available to oversee and manage pre-litigation claims to identify at an early point whether the COVID immunities and other defenses are potentially available as legal strategies so that decisive action can be taken if and when the claim is filed.

For claims placed into suit, our team possesses the necessary medical, legal and trial expertise to formulate and solidify a successful defense, including motions to dismiss or removal to federal court if advisable, conducting and orchestrating the necessary investigation unique to COVID claims, securing appropriate experts, and identifying and analyzing the factual and legal issues to put the case in the most advantageous posture to obtain a successful result.
